CURLING-I'RONAHOLDER.

$.PEGIFIGATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 522,033, dated June26, 1894.

Application filed February 13, 1894. Serial No. 500,047. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, MARK A. SHELDON, a citizen of the United States,residing at Detroit, in the county of Wayne and State of Michigan, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Curling-Iron Holders, ofwhichthe following is a specification, reference being had therein tothe accompanying drawings.

The invention consists in the peculiar construction of a hanger designedto be suspended upon the top of a chimney and having a perforated footadapted to receive and support the end of a curling iron within thechimney, and furtherin the peculiar construction of a hanger whereby itmay be readily detached.

In the drawings, Figure l is a perspective view of my improved device.Fig. 2 is a vertical, central section through a lamp chimney and myimproved device showing the curling iron in position as when beingheated.

A is a lampchimney to which I have shown my holder applied.

The holder consists of a hanger B having the arms 0 projecting from eachside and at the topand acup shaped perforated foot D at the lower endand extending at substantially right angles from the stem of the hanger,these being struck from asingle piece of sheet metal. The arms 0 areadapted to rest upon the top of the chimney upon one side, as shown inFig. 2 and the cnrlingi'ron shown in dotted lines at E in Fig. 2, isadapted to be supported by engaging the end thereof with the foot Dwhich will cause the iron to assume an angular position across thechimney resting upon the opposite edge and throwing the handle F Ibeyond the side of the chimney so that it will be out of line with theheat from the chimney and thus will not be burned. On the upper dottedlines, so that it may be removed from the chimney withouthandling it.This whole device I strike from a single piece of sheet metal whichenables me to construct it cheaply and yet make an attractive article inappearance; by suspending it in the top of the chimney I avoid clampsfor fastening it.on the chimney which would make it difficult to removewithout danger of lifting the chimney from the lamp.

What I claim as my invention is 1. A curlingiron holder consisting of astem having extended arms at the top adapted to be hung upon the top ofa chimney and aperforated foot extending out from one side only of thestem, at the bottom, substantially as described. Y

2. As a new article of manufacture, a curliron holder struck from asingle piece of sheet metal and consisting of the stem B, the perforatedcup shaped foot D at the lower end, the arms 0 extending from each sideof the stem at the top of the angular ring shaped extension G, the partscombined as and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony whereof I'affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
